Goose Creek - Two men are being held in the Berkeley County Detention Center after police find explosive making devices in their car. There are conflicting reports as to the quantity of explosive making materials in that vehicle.

FBI (website) reports are saying that there is not believed to be a link to terrorism. The men 21-year-old Yousef Megahed and 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed (seen in the video attachment) were pulled over Saturday evening during a routine traffic stop near Myers Road and Highway 176. Among the explosive devices found were igniters and fusers.

Few details about the suspects are known at this time. They are believed to be students at a Florida college. They are of Middle Eastern descent and are not US citizens. Neither man has been charged, but charges are expected Monday.

A press conference will be held in Berkeley County on Monday morning. Among the potential charges is possession of unlawful explosives.

Officials are not at this time releasing any additional information. Highway 176 in Goose Creek was shut down and has since reopened. Stay tuned to ABC News 4 and www.abcnews4.comfor details as they become available.

No, I think you may have something. I live in GC, and Berkeley county sheriffs don’t pull over speeders. too spread out. Unless doing 100 mph in front of them. So I suspect something else is going on.The first reports said info came in from another “jurisdiction” ??? someone dropped a dime. They must be withholding info to protect an investigation or person. And why was the FBI, ATF, Sled, called in, beside county and city officers?

But if the truth is told, someone or someones could be tipped, if those someone haven't already been tipped, and they probably have been tipped simply because the story made the news.

Their buddies would be tipped simply by their not showing up where expected.

That laptop should prove very interesting (I'm assuming, of course, that the agents will be allowed to look at it this time).

Not from me. I’ve suspected that with lots of things that were obviously terrorist, like the OU bomber and some of the planes that have gone down.

I agree a laptop (and I had not heard that) would be of interest.

One of the stories I read said the officer who stopped them for speeding got suspicious when one of them tried to hide the laptop. Which hopefully means it's full of unencrypted info indicating what they were up to and who else is involved.

Neither man has been charged...........

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Ain't got no place to lay your head Somebody came and took your bed Don't worry, be happy The land lord say your rent is late He may have to litigate Don't worry, be happy Lood at me I am happy Don't worry, be happy Here I give you my phone number When you worry call me I make you happy Don't worry, be happy Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style Ain't got not girl to make you smile But don't worry be happy Cause when you worry Your face will frown And that will bring everybody down So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote I hope you learn it note for note Like good little children Don't worry, be happy Listen to what I say In your life expect some trouble But when you worry You make it double Don't worry, be happy...... Don't worry don't do it, be happy Put a smile on your face Don't bring everybody down like this Don't worry, it will soon past Whatever it is Don't worry, be happy

Yes, but I’m afraid I miss your point.

You commented that you made yourself a target with your comment and I stated that I wouldn’t be flaming you for what you said. I agreed with it.

for clarification I should have specified, “what they say as irrelevant”, not that they are irrelevant. Agree, no comment is best.

Yep, no reason to pursue the terrorist angle any further. Let them get back to their studies.
